“If you want the doctor’s help, you must reveal the wound”
– Boethius
Some of the deepest wounds are not marked on our bodies but in our hearts. We tuck away our disordered emotions into our inner-life until they explode into our outer-life. When we blow up and so probably speak rashly, we cut others to pieces:
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts. (Prov 12:18a)
